Assessment 3 - Zoe using her skills in fine freehand pen drawing created the hair on the young boy. The end result is highly effective and realistic. Watercolour was again used on the t-shirt. The deep red contrasted against with the pale blue background is great in ensuring the focal point and attention is on the young boy. 

Assessment 3 - Again using the plastic wrap technique we decided to watercolour a full A2 page, so that we could use this visual piece as a background for the story within the child’s book. So that the book is coherent as a whole. 

Assessment 3 - Process shots of the development of the background. The background was the first step in creating our artwork of the young child on the beach. Using a range of water colours, coupled with a few techniques of salt dying and plastic wrap led to a delicate and layered aesthetic of the sea behind him. 

Claymation relating to our group assignment :) Puzzle Making, as this is the behaviour we are requiring our user to do in order to complete our project

Brainstorming for Assessment 3 = ALL THE WORLD’S FUTURES

This is the documentation of the class collaborative performance work. We began this process by a member of each group contributing a key word that had to be incorporated into the work. These were: -Bizarre -Noisy -Coherent -Flexible -Sandwich -Interactive We thought about how these could all be combined into a work that we could create collaboratively, and decided to explore an ‘exquisite corpse’ structure as a narrative. It was suggested we form gestures and body movements that embodied these key words, each group creating their own movement to contribute to a whole performance. It was also decided that ‘sandwich’ be influential to all movements. We filmed the completed work, performed by the class members in the COFA courtyard. We used three different variations of filming, time laps, slow motion and regular.

The way in which I want my work to be perceived by the public would be inside a grand gallery with high ceilings. The scale of the work would be extremely large showcasing the vast amount of fabric, which has been sewn with numerous textures and fine embellishments. The wall of the gallery would be white conveying a high contrast ensuring the focal point would be the installation. The piece would sit off the wall being held up with invisible thread conveying the thought that it is floating. Lighting will be placed on the work to showcase the skill as well as the slight sheen in the deep red silk organza will create a sparkle to the design piece.

FINAL BODY OF WORK - Assessment 2

Another technique which will be included in the final piece, this was done by gathering and placed it in a different form to create new texture to the work.

Starting to produce more techniques on the final work. I decided to do the thermoplastic heating on satin rather then organza because satin is more durable therefore producing a more distinct organic shape. I cut a thin line on the organza so that I could push through the little bobbles. 

This is image is the start of my final body of work, the way I created this texture was by gathering multiple lines of stitching. The softness and delicacy of the technique is very beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. 

Using the sewing machine, I created some pleating....... just another technique which could be possibly included in my installation.
